This is the first of three of my entries in the March Paper Wishes Designer challenge. The requirements were that we use the 3D flowers template and the Sunshine and Shadows paper pack and the 4” doilies. The lilies on the template had seven petals, but I didn’t think they looked much like lilies, so I removed a couple. I like them better this way.
Of course, the down side is they won’t go into a regular envelope. I had to make a box for this card.

Here’s a sympathy card I made recently. It was one of my first attempts with perfect pearls and I had to re-do the stamped part 3 times before I got it right. In spite of that, I really do like Perfect Pearls. I’m sure I will be using it a lot on future projects.
The flowers were made with several different punches. I used an embossing tool to shape the petals. Punch flowers are some of my favorite things to make.
Here is a sympathy card I made recently for a friend. The flowers are made from parchment. I've always admired parchment work, but I've only done one other piece. This card is an extremely simple example of parchment work which is usually much more elaborate.
Here's a closer look at the flowers.
Here's what I used to make the card:
After making the card I found this excellent tutorial for doing parchment work and discovered several things I did wrong!
